Why Quit?

Vaping and cigarette smoking both put nicotine and cancer-causing chemicals into your body, and both are highly addictive and dangerous for young people. Because your brain is still developing until your mid-20s, you have a greater risk of becoming addicted to nicotine. There has also been a recent outbreak of lung injury associated with the use of vaping products.

Smoking/Vaping and Covid-19

According to the Truth Initiative, the Food and Drug Administration has stated that “people who smoke cigarettes may be at increased risk of infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, and may have worse outcomes from COVID-19.” There is also growing evidence that vaping can harm lung health.
